34 Weeks

Tuesday marked Kristen's 34th week of pregnancy. If all goes normally, that means we have somewhere between 4 and 8 more weeks before our baby boy is welcomed to this world. Besides a few small things to do and buy, we are materially as ready as we can be. We still have a lot to learn about birth and being parents, but we're both looking forward and ready for that challenge.

Thursday we went in for the routine 34 week checkup. We went over our birth preferences with the midwife and found that the baby is positioned head down with the back towards Kristen's belly which is the best position for birth. There is still a chance that he will rotate, but it was good news to know that he is head down and likely won't be a back labor.
